The attack comes after South African gangs shot and injured a Somali citizen, a taxi driver in Tygerberg district of northern suburbs of Cape Town in South Africa.

The victim was taken into hospital for medical treatment.

In April, a report released by Human Rights Watch (HRW) urged authorities in South Africa to launch an urgent investigation and arrest and prosecute those responsible for a spate of violence against foreign nationals.
